Mr. St. Amand, it seems that it is the will of the committee to do this with the minister here. It's very odd, very unusual. I don't think it's appropriate. But if that's what the committee wants to do, I will read an e-mail that we received about an hour ago. It was sent to the clerk. The e-mail reads as follows:
Given the significant change in circumstances, including the termination of Linda Keen as President and CEO as of 10 pm last evening, it is not possible in these circumstances for Ms. Linda Keen to be present this afternoon as she had previously agreed to yesterday. As such, she was prepared to come as President until last evening.
As she is no longer in that role, she must reassess her ability to make her comments and answer the questions.
Ms. Keen hopes that she will be given an opportunity to address these issues before the Committee at some future date.
This is signed by Mr. Jason Cameron. His position isn't stated here. He is from the CNSC. I don't know if someone here knows what his position is. It isn't stated on the e-mail.
